AI platform ai.com, created by Kris Marszalek, co-founder and CEO of Crypto.com, has announced its plan to introduce autonomous AI agents aimed at retail consumers.
These agentic AI agents are designed to perform tasks such as stock trading, automating workflows, and even simple chore management like updating calendars and online profiles, as detailed in a company announcement.
The agents promise to keep user data separate and secure, using unique encryption keys for each individual. They will operate based on user-defined limitations regarding what actions they can execute.
The technology has recently gained popularity, with about 23% of surveyed organizations, according to McKinsey, indicating they are broadening their use of AI agents.
